Hi all.... I'm doing some stress testing (trying to force pre-mature failures of disks if they're going to happen and check system stability) of a 3-Ware 6000 series RAID card w/ some EIDE drives attached to it in RAID 5 mode.... I am getting the following results from raidtest: Read 500000 requests from raidtest.data. Number of READ requests: 249361. Number of WRITE requests: 250639. Number of bytes to transmit: 32888206336. Number of processes: 1000. Bytes per second: 4737569 Requests per second: 72 Does this seem accurate? Should I only be seeing 4.7 MB/second throughput or is raidtest just not a good way to measure peak throughput? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
